I can't seem to get this program to run properly. When I try to mount the ISO file I get this error: PS C:\> DISM.exe /Mount-Wim /wimfile:C:\Users\Don\Downloads\Windows 7\en_windows _7_ultimate_x64_dvd_X15-65922.iso /index:1 /MountDir:C:\Users\Don\Desktop\Win 7 Error: 87 DISM doesn't recognize the command-line option "7\en_windows_7_ultimate_x64_dvd_ X15-65922.iso". For more information, refer to the help by running DISM.exe /?. The DISM log file can be found at C:\Windows\Logs\DISM\dism.log PS C:\>

Good here to find "Token Restore" http://forums.mydigitallife.info

The upgrade might take 20 hours or more , according to recent PC magazine article. For a smoother ride, it is recommended to do a fresh installation , which is also best after using Windows 7 for a few month later. Still confused? Get help from Ina Fried (CNET, as of 2009-Nov-2) who might give you a good relook on his article titled Windows 7 upgrade version: The do and don'ts found on http://news.cnet.com/8301-13860_3-10388567-56.html The excerpt, "...The difference between an in-place upgrade and a "clean" installation, in this instance, means backing up one's data, installing Windows 7, restoring the data, and reinstalling all Windows programs. Windows 7 upgrade disks can be used to do this clean installation and will recognize the previously installed version of Windows. So if you don't have any previously installed Windows on the machine, you will want to get yourself a full copy of Windows 7..." Upgrade does not take 20 hours! It took me 2-3hours. I did a upgrade from Vista Prem to Win 7 Ultimate around 2-3 hours. Maybe if you did a upgrade on a very old system, with lots of junk, files, I guess it could take 20 hours..

Fresh is the best option, when you want to make sure you start off clean, but it can be a pain in the A&& to find the right driver if Win 7 can't find/install the correct driver. Upgrade is the way to go, if you just install Vista or the OEM, and just want to run Win 7. It may takes hours for Win 7 to make back-up and restore your file, but it's worth the wait. Win 7 has improve greatly in the process of upgrade comparing to Vista upgrade process. My final thought is after you install all the program you use and update the computer, do a full image back-up!! and keep it on dvd, So if anything arise, you can image your system back without starting from scratch. :whistle:
